The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death (Pantsu Hero Alice) Chapter 237 - This Is Art

"The nature of these pollutants is strange. Rather than call it a pollutant, it'd be more accurate to call it a natural substance with unfavorable properties."

This was the conclusion Lacey had come to after researching the demon realm's air for some time. Based on her findings, the mana in the demon realm's air couldn't actually be considered polluted since the "pollutants" weren't a result of external factors. Instead, these "pollutants" were an inherent part of the demon realm's environment. So, one could say that the demon realm's mana was in its natural state.

"A natural substance with unfavorable properties?" Kristine muttered as she looked at the empty jars on the floor. She had brought thirty jars of air back from the demon realm, and they had used over twenty jars already. Fortunately, Lacey indeed had the qualifications of a senior alchemist as her research had already yielded some results. "Can you give me a simpler explanation? I don't know much about alchemy, so I don't really understand what you mean."

"For example, if you squeeze the air in the human realm, you'll squeeze out 'water' which we can drink directly. However, if you were to squeeze the demon realm's air, you'll get a mixture of 'oil' and 'water,' with oil being the pollutants and water being mana. If you try to drink this mixture, it's only natural that you'll feel uncomfortable," Lacey explained after pondering for a moment. "But the problem now is that the demon realm can only produce this oil-water mixture. The 'oil' component wasn't artificially added. Instead, it is an inherent part of the demon realm's environment."

"I see. So, the demons' special organs are filters that filter the 'oil' out of this mixture so that their bodies can use normal 'water,'" Kristine said, nodding. She had a much easier time understanding Lacey's words after the girl equated mana with water and the pollutants with oil. "Then, is there a way to get rid of this 'oil'?"

"It is possible, but this solution will be no different than transforming the demons' special
